Great

Recently visited the BR zoo for Boo at the Zoo. A great event for the entire family. The kids dress up in their Halloween costume. There are plenty of activities for the entire family.

Back for Grandma's 90th birthday

This small zoo is excellent. The day that we went it was fairly empty of people but plenty of animals to see. The price is very reasonable also. The $2 train ride did not have much to see.

I liked the shade and the price

After hearing about how good this zoo use to be and how downhill it's gone, my expectations were low. However, I was pleasantly surprised. Although it's looking worn, it has what most zoos would be envious of and that is shade. It has even better...More

Great zoo, but a bit of a drive

Love the zoo, but hate the drive to get to it. It's on the far side of Baton Rouge. Nice selection of animals, clean habitats. Wonderful outing for a day.

Average Zoo

Middle of the pack when it comes to Zoo's. Kids will always have a good time but NOLA's Zoo is 100 times better. I hope they move it closer to the other side of town. Sad to hear about animals dying there.
